I will post my cupboard list soon.
Some of these items are actually surprising to me. Perhaps they are a special brand.
ReplyDeleteI have a dairy free book that lists all the hidden words that still mean dairy. I think the most surprising thing I read in that book, is just because something says "non-dairy" does not mean it is "dairy free."
I don't know all of the hidden words for soy. I know most of them, but I try to error on the side of caution when grocery shopping.
I have a huge sweet tooth and also love cheese. I have lucky found daiya cheese, which isn't great but it works. I eat hemp milk ice cream (Tempt) and am very fond of the brand "Enjoy Life." They make all of their products free of the 8 common allergies. I like their soft baked cookies.
I am curious about your daughter's sleeping habits. I was told that it is very common for babies who have reflux and allergy issues to have sleeping issues as well. I spent several nights sleeping in a recliner because she wanted to sleep sitting up on my chest.
I'm curious which items you find surprising. I know the ones that I had to change brands on were the tortillas and the mayonnaise since my regular ones contain soy oil. Did you know though that most people with soy sensitivities can eat soy oil and soy lethicin? I'm going to attempt to reintroduce those soon.
ReplyDeleteAs far as sleep habits go, Nelle is sleeping "like a baby." Okay, I just couldn't help myself there. Actually before we got the reflux and allergy figured out she wasn't sleeping very well at all. I can't even figure out how to begin to talk about the details in this comment. I suppose I'll have to eventually write a post about it. Let's just say that my husband and I traded nights with her on the bathroom floor.
I was surprised with the Mayo and the Cheddar sauce. But I haven't seen those two brands. It looks like you are very fond of the TJ brand. I will have to try and find that one.
ReplyDeleteI did know about the soy lethicin, but thus far we have just been trying to keep that out of my diet. I sometimes slip up on the diet and have to start over again. :( It is really hard to go out to eat. We enjoy eating out with friends and maintaining friendships that way, since we all have such busy schedules. Plus it is nice not to have to cook once in awhile.
I must have eatten something at Easter because I found blood in her stool again the Monday after. It makes me so sad.
Do you have a list of all the hidden words for soy? I know the obvious ones, but sometimes wonder about some of the others I see.
I just realized that TJ stands for Trader Joe. We don't have one here :(
